Entretien
The initial interview setup was as usual. The original scheduled interviewer bailed out 30 minutes before the call. Since I had taken the time off, I opted to continue with an another one. The recruiter took 15mins to setup the new one. The new interviewer had obviously no prep but surprisingly, when I asked him, have you reviewed the resume, he said 'No' and showed no desire to do so.
I guess we started off wrong with his first question, where he wanted me to write down a function and then read it back to him. I was not ready for such a question. Tried giving him the algorithm but kept insisting on the actual syntax. With over 2 decades in the software industry, this sort of verbal coding was new to me. I should've read the code to him from a website!
I lost the interest and the respect for the interview. I consider the experience as the worst interview so far.

Question 1
Implement atoi() and read it back to me over the phone! The interviewer was pretty stubborn in hearing the actual syntax over the phone not the algo nor pseudo code.

I had 6 individual 45 minute interviews, with very little break due to the recruitment team not being organised.
When I arrived there was no one to meet me or tell me where I should be, so everything ran late.

Brilliant group of folks. Two phone interviews followed by full-day one-on-one interviews with six people lasting half an hour each. Each interviewer focuses on a specific aspect he is responsible for evaluating. Questions range from behavioral to technical.

After recruiter did the initial screen, i had a phone interview from on the the Sr Mgrs in A2z. After the interview i was asked to fly in to SF for a face to face. Had 6 interviews HR, Site Director, Same Sr Mgr, Developer, Developer and Somebody did a remote interview from their Wear-house. I was interviewing for Amazon Cloud Player team and the interview was pretty easy. Except for the last one. Amazon has this process of somebody from a totally different organization being able to participate . For me it was the person from their Wearhouse who called in remote. The interview was a disaster as his cell phone had poor reception and we both could not hear each other well. But somehow we joked and apologized to each other.
